It’s an extra special Mother’s Day this Sunday for new mum Shanika McGee.
Shanika gave birth to her little boy at 7.36am on Wednesday, May 8, at Echuca Regional Health after a very long night.
“It was so painful but it was so worth it,” she said.
“He’s made me a mum. That’s pretty special.”
The yet-to-be-named little bub weighed just over 3.2kg, measuring 48cm long.
“He was due earlier in the week but I guess I was meant to meet him closer to Mother’s Day,” Shanika said.
Shanika thanked the ERH midwives who had looked after her very well.
“They were all so nice,” she said.
“They really looked after me.”
